Bringing out my inner drag queen, glitter galore eye make up look!

Last weekend I felt inspired to play around with make up and wanted to do a mad look with lots of glitter so what did I do? I drew inspiration from Deborah Lippmann's Across The Universe polish, so sit back and take a look at this tacktastic tutorial!

First up I used the Sephora Jumbo Pencil along the upper lid, tracing out the shape I wanted.

I applied Mac's Blue Flame and patted it over the jumbo liner, softening the edges.

I applied the jumbo pencil to the lower lash line, joining it to the outer edge and ever so slightly at the inner corner.

Next I took the Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Eyeliner and drew a line along the upper lash line, making a wing at the outer edge. I also applied it to the upper and lower waterlines, adding some drama baby!

Now it was time to go disco ball on it! I applied the MUA glitter liners on both upper and lower lash lines. The blue went on top first, going over the black line from the previous step. I applied the green glitter under my lower lashes and became mesmerized with the light reflecting off the glitter!

I lashed on the Bourjois Volumizer mascara and decided I wasn't finished with the look. So I applied the blue glitter over the green glitter and vice versa, leaving me with proper drag queen eyes!

I love playing around with make up like this. I'm not a professional make up artist, I'm just someone who likes to mess around with it and basically, if I can do this, so can you. There is no mad blending, mad techniques, mad products, just plopping the make up on and seeing what happens!
